Memecoins have fallen from grace, but will they return?

Memecoins were one of the hottest narratives and best-performing sectors in the crypto market in 2024. However, the parabolic run enjoyed by memecoins came to a screeching halt in 2025.

The decline of memecoins followed several high-profile launches that plummeted in value almost immediately after launch or were characterized as a rug pull, including projects endorsed by US President Donald Trump and Argentina’s President Javier Milei.

Memecoins fell to a market cap of $39.4 billion on Friday, reaching the lowest level on record in 2025 and shedding up to $5 billion in one day, according to CoinMarketCap.
